Figure 8
Classification of resuspension events. Values of LSi flux and POC:DW ratios at OC26 from the upper trap are plotted against the lower trap values, presenting two groups of sedimentation events. Green circles (sample cups 5, 11 and 15) are interpreted as far-field small resuspension events. Blue circles (cups 4 and 17) represent resuspension events with flux values of LSiupper << LSilower, including large-scale hurricane events. In both panels, the black dots mark values from the first, and the red dots for the second, sediment trap deployment at OC26. The gray-shaded area in the left panel marks the sampling periods in which no clear resuspension signal was detected; the gray-shaded area in the right panel marks the condition for POC:DW being less than 3% in both traps.
